    my Microsoft Wi-Fi Direct Virtual Adapter is missing


    I have installed win 10 x64 pro on my hp pavilion dm4.
    I tried to turn on mobile hotspot by wifi but it says "we can set up mobile hotspot", i can turn on by bluetooth only.
    I have checked my driver even hidden drivers and there is no Microsoft Wi-Fi Direct Virtual Adapter here.

    I can still use others wifi hotspot sorfware.
    What should I do to get Microsoft
    Wi-Fi Direct Virtual Adapter?

    Missing the "Microsoft Wi-Fi Direct Virtual Adapter". Where to install?

    I seem to be missing "Microsoft Wi-Fi Direct Virtual Adapter " on a laptop. I've already enabled "Show Hidden Devices" in the Device Manager, and it's not listed.

    The reason I need it: I want to project laptop # 1 onto that laptop. I'm getting an error message "We're still trying to determine the feature capabilities" error message when I try to to project to laptop #2. The system requirements, including Windows
    build version, seem to be sufficient. The Wi-Fi Direct Virtual Adapter seems to be the only thing I'm missing.

  3. Wi-Fi virtual adapter

    I am unable to create a wi-fi hotspot on my laptop (HP pavillion ab-032tx model) after upgrading to windows 10. I cannot find Microsoft WI-Fi direct Virtual adapter in the listed adapters (control pannel->network sharing center) . However Microsoft Wi-Fi
    direct Virtual adapter and Microsoft Wi-Fi direct Virtual adapter #2 are listed in hidden drivers (device manager-> view tab, faded icons). Upon checking for hardware changes, there are no unkown devices being shown. Microsoft Wi-Fi direct Virtual adapter
    #3 is also found in the view tab , but its icon is not faded. All my drivers are updated. Still i am unable to create a hotspot. Pl help me with the same.

    Microsoft Direct Virtual Wi-Fi Adapter

    How can I remove Microsoft Virtual Direct Wi Fi Adapter.

    I see under device manager I see Microsoft virtual direct wi fi adapter. If I remove it, delete it , it comes back. I can only disable it.

    This is what I know and I investigated to find out.

    **** This is a feature which is used to create hotspot make the pc/laptop as a hotspot for other computers to connect to or covertly connect to the computer. ( my issue on my laptop ).

    problem:

    when I do ipconfig/all it list a Microsoft Direct virtual Wi-Fi Adapter as active. even though I never activated this, I don't even know how to activate this.

    I am try to deactivate virtual adapter. I am not able to do .

    I tried using netsh wlan disallow.., it doesn't work. it the virtual adapter stays activated.

    I also tried network reset, no change.

    I formatted hard drive and reinstalled windows. no change.

    I used recovery media to wipe out hard drive and install the factory defaults. no effect.

    I have windows 10 home edition. ( this windows is not even compatible with hyper-v virtual features.

    I AM UNABLE TO REMOVE OR DE-ACTIVATE THIS VIRTUAL ADAPTER.

    I have contacted Lenovo, they couldn't help me.

    I called couple of support professional website they couldn't help they didn't know much about network/adapters.

    need help!!!
